How many readers like to read horror manga series? I found a site that gives a great overview of this genre.
Girls' Horror Comics http://www.thirteens.net/~ghc/ I believe Vampire Miyu would probably be the most known series of this genre. I'm curious if people believe more titles in this genre will be released in English. |

Damn
I really like the horror genre itself but there are so little titles out there. I read Alive - can that be considered as a horror manga? Also Domu:its a childs dream - is that a horror? |

Petshop of Horrors!
It's not really horrifying though...

Junji Ito's stuff is my fav horror manga.
Tomie and Flesh-colored Horror were great. Uzumaki gave me nightmares. I read some of GYO, but from what I glanced over it looks pretty freaky. |

"Umi no Yami Tsuki no Kage" by Chie Shinohara is a great shoujo horror story.
It's about twin girls who gain psychic powers through a virus. And one of them turns evil and wants to kill the other... |

I'm really liking GYO right now. It's very disturbing.

How can there really be an horror comics? You're reading it, it doesn't have the same effect as it does watching it. When you watch it, you jump with surprise, when you read it, you can kind of see what happens when you flip the page, therefore, kind of spoiling the surprise.

Horror comics, or at least the good ones anyways, have to use special tricks to scare you. Since pretty much anything goes in manga, they have to, instead of scare, disturb. If you've ever seen the movie The Exoricist, then you know what I'm talking about. That movie's not very scary, but it's disturbing. That's the same feeling a good horror manga should give you.

That makes sense. And according to some people who have seen SM&7B (save for the few that are immune to it) would agree with that. But, for someone like me, I need that surprise, or I just look at something that's disturbing and do one of the following: laugh or say it's cool.
